Hinata lay on the bed exhausted as a tear slowly crept down her pale face. After giving birth to her second set of twins you would think she would be happy. But these were not tears of joy, they were quite the opposite, they were tears of despair. The youngest of all her children, and her only daughter, after taking only a few breaths struggled for breath through her premature heart. And now the nurses were running around trying to save the life of the tiny infant.
Caleb, the youngest son awoke from his slumber demanding the attention of his mother. Hinata rolled onto her side to lean over to the cot that had be placed next to her bed which now held her screaming son.
"Shhh Caleb, it's okay, she'll be okay." She said trying to convince herself more than her son, who she knew could tell something horrifying was happening. However like her voice was a lullaby he almost instantly drifted back to sleep.
"What's going on?" came the monotone voice of Sasuke Uchiha as he walked into the room. He looked over to see Hinata a complete mess, curled yup and crying.
"Otokage-sama, said one of the nurses as she came from the other room. "The twins were 2 weeks premature, and your daughter has an under developed heart, she is in a stable condition now, but will need to be kept in incubation for a while, we also need a name."
"Anika, what of the second."
"Caleb is perfectly healthy."
"Very well take him to the nursery, and prepare Hinata to come back to our chambers." And with that the nurse's went off preparing Hinata and moving the small infant.
After about 5 minuets Hinata was sat in a wheel chair, as she was too much of a wreck to walk. Half way down the corridors of the mansion could be heard the thundering of footsteps charging towards them. As the two young boys ran down the hall and noticed their mother in the wheelchair.
"MOMMY!!!" the twins shouted as they forgot there game and ran into their mother's arms.
"Mommy, when will we get to see our new brothers?" Fiyero asked.
"Well, there is only one new brother for you, and you can see him tomorrow."
"What happened? Why is there only one new Brother instead of two, you said you were having two?" Haruko, the oldest of all the children asked.
"The reason you don't have two brothers is because you have a sister."
"Really!!"
"Yes, now if I'm right isn't it time for you to be getting ready for bed." Hinata looked at them, for she knew that when they were running around the house not only were they playing but they were making the nanny's job incredible hard. And at that moment Janessa came at a fast walking pace down the corridor when she spotted the family.
"My apologies Uchiha-samma." She said as she bowed to Sasuke and Hinata.
"Just get them into bed." Sasuke told her in a harsh tone, as he started to wheel Hinata to their chambers.
Once all the servants had left for the evening after making sure the two had everything they needed Sasuke sat on the bed stroking Hinata's hair.
"You did very well today, and I know that our baby girl is going to be okay." He said to her in such a gentle tone you would think that he was a completely different person from the man who came to her room after the birth.
"How can you be so sure? How can you promise something with the one thing you can't control in this village?" She whispered as she started to break down in tears.
"Because, I will make sure with every thing in my power she will never be put in the same situation as Nori. We won't lose our baby girl again.
